Didn’t Jimi Hendrix come out as gay in the military to avoid possibly being sent to Vietnam as well?
No, he was just a lazy pos who got caught pleasuing himself in the barracks
Mitch is closet queen though - I am almost positive about that.
There are contemporanious witnesses who have attested to his quickie discharge and remember the reason he was tossed out of the military.

Hendrix was in the 101st Airborne. He broke an ankle on a practice jump and was discharged.
Wow that’s funny you mention that as I recently read his biography. What happened was he was found in a stolen car and the judge gave him two options: Go to jail or join the military, so he join the paratroopers, 101st Airborne Fort Campbell Kentucky. He actually got his patch, but he started screwing up, constantly missing bed check as he would be playing clubs in a band. Then the final straw was they caught him masturbating in the mens room in a stall, so they gave him an honorable discharge on the basis he wasn’t suited for the military.

No
The Army COs didn’t want him around and gave him an honorable discharge after about 1 year of service.
He was a loon, and unintelligent but straight.

No. Not true,
Total bull. Hendrix was proud of his service. He got out early due to an training injury leading to jump out of airplanes.
